Trump seeking ways to take over 9/11 memorial in NYC

[Dulcinea]

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration said Friday that it is exploring whether the federal government can take control of the 9/11 memorial and museum in New York City.

The site in lower Manhattan, where the World Trade Center’s twin towers were destroyed by hijacked jetliners on Sept. 11, 2001, features two memorial pools ringed by waterfalls and parapets with the names of the dead, and an underground museum. Since opening to the public in 2014, the memorial plaza and museum have been run by a public charity, now chaired by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a frequent Trump critic.

The White House confirmed the administration has had “preliminary exploratory discussions” about the idea, but declined to elaborate. The office noted the Republican pledged during his campaign last year to make the site a national monument, protected and maintained by the federal government.

1. And you just know he'll attach the trump name to it and charge more

The Donald J. Trump 9/11 Memorial

He lied and said he was there helping.

He said (I think to howard stern) that now that the towers were gone his buildings were the tallest (or something like that).

He ruins everything.

2. The SOB just has to put everything under his control. The USA is f#&ked.

4. Trump must take over and destroy anything important to the American people.

He must be in charge of it and plaster his name across it.
Then destroy it.

6. Make it a park, the waterfall thing is lame in my opinion

7. I wouldn't be surprised if he pardoned Osama bin Laden and called him "a great patriot"

who was unfairly targeted by a Democrat.

For a fee of course.
